Voices of Hope Candelight Vigil

We invite you to join us for a Candlelight Vigil to honor and remember those we have lost to overdose on International Overdose Awareness Day on Saturday, August 31, 2024.  There is an event going on in each county on the same day and time, choose one that best fits your location.  These events aim to provide a space for reflection, support and unity as we raise awareness about the impact of overdose on our community.  We invite stakeholders, treatment providers, government agencies, community leaders, faith based groups, churches, individuals and families who have been impacted by the overdose death crisis.

Date:  International Overdose Awareness Day, Saturday, August 31
Time:  6:30 pm – 8:00 pm
Locations:
Cecil County: North East Community Park, Walnut Street, North East, MD 21901
Harford County:  Aberdeen Festival Park, 34 N. Philadelphia Blvd., Aberdeen, MD 21001

The evening will include personal stories, moments of silence, luminary decoration, and the lighting of candles in memory of loved ones.  We encourage you to bring a photo or momento to add to your luminary, if you wish.  Luminaries and electric candles will be provided.

This vigil is not only a time to mourn but also an opportunity to come together and support one another.  We hope to see you there as we stand in solidarity and strive to make a difference in our communities.

If you would like to table at this event at either location to support those impacted, please fill out this FORM by Aug 1 and we will contact you.

Together, we can light the way to awareness and change.
